Ex-vioe President Wheeler Dead.

Ex-Vice President Wheeler died
at his home in Malone N. Y, at TO-:
10 a. m, Saturday.
Since William A. Wheeler retired
from the Vice Presidency in 1880 he
has been entirely out of the public
sight, and his death removes one
whose career had been finished. But
for many years he was an honored
figure both in New York State
and in the national councils. In the
State Senate and as President of the
State Constitutional Convention he
made an excellent reputation which
he enlarged in Congress. His part
in the settlement of the Louisiana
complications was a conspicuous
public service. He did not often
participate in debate, though when
he did he went right to the marrow
of the subject, but he was greatly
respected and trusted by all his as
sociates for his high integrity of
purpose and sobriety of judgment.
He was an admirable parliamentary
ian, and was prominent among the
few canvassed at various times for
the Speakership of the House. He
enjoyed in high degree the conf
dence Of public men throughout the
country, and his selection for Vice
President was the natural suggestion
both of his personal and political
position. His entrance upon the
canvas was simultaneous with the
loss of his wife, and from that hour
his ambition and energy vanished.
His later years were the shadow of
marked career.
The funeral took place no Tues
day afternoon at l o'clock.

A well-known Congressman, whose
sagacityis everywhere admitted, told
a pretty secret or two which, while
having direct bearing on the ques-
ton of the relation between Hill and
Cleveland, also disclose why the
President may be adverse to o Sec
ond term and why in that event he
would favor Hill. Said the Con
gresham "Dan Lamont and | are
fast friends and have been such for
a dozen years and more. Through
him I know absolutely that cordial
relations and complete under
standing exists between Governor
Hill and President Cleveland. They
have never had breach. Lamont
told ne that a week ago, when
we were chatting about the Presi-
dent and second term. Lamont
says Cleveland will not accept re
nomination if these labor troubles
continue. He knows he could not
have the support of united party,
and he discovers that the man for
such situation would be Hill, who
is acceptable to nearly all TIE labor
Len. Cleveland has said within
two weeks that in his own opinion
the labor troubles will have ended
before next Spring. In such an
.ent he would take denomination,
and I believe Hill would help him to
get it, being himself content with
another term as Governor
